Bob Marley - Red Red Wine









रक्ता रक्ता मदिरा 



In Sanskrit the usage of colours as adjectives follows the gender of the noun.

As we know in Sanskrit nouns/pronouns have 3 genders; masculine,feminine and neuter.

Let's take a few examples:

The word for Red in Sanskrit is रक्त (rakta)

Usage:

1) Masculine example रक्तः घटः(raktaH ghataH) (red pot).

2) Feminine example रक्ता  शाटिका (raktA shAtikA) (red saree)

3)Neuter example रक्तम् पुष्पम् (raktam puSpam) (red flower)


There you go....रक्ता रक्ता मदिरा (raktA raktA madirA)(red red wine)

I am sure you can guess the word for wine used here belongs to which gender!
